Luxurious Cape Breton Retreat

AmaraRating, 5 stars1 day ago

Everything looks just like the pictures, very clean and well cared for. Beds were super comfy, kitchen was well stocked, including little kid plates, cutlery and stool which my four year old was so excited about! Appreciated the wifi and smart tv, could stream and cast to tv with no issues for those rainy movie nights. My husband played the Cabot Cliffs, your about 20 minutes or less from Inverness. Nick is also a great host, I asked for recommendations on where to go to eat, and the recommendations were awesome. Wow what a view from the wrap around deck. Had coffee out there a few times! It’s a special place and easily one of the nicest Air B and B’s we stayed at on our tour of the Maritimes. Would highly recommended. Thanks for the great stay:)

This is a lovely lower level (back split) apartment that overlooks Bras D'or lake. Super clean and organized with so many nice touches from the hosts! We had freshly baked muffins, coffee maker loaded and ready to start at the touch of a button, fresh butter set out, milk and cream in the fridge as well as burger condiments. Super quiet and peaceful place to stay! Stores, gas etc are about 25 minutes away, so don't expect to walk to a supermarket, but for us the solitude was wonderful.
